readingtogetherWell, this is far later than intended because someone unfortunately gifted me with a miserable headcold for Christmas and I've mostly been laying around watching youtube...
But all is not lost - it is only Monday and we are still firmly in the weird week of the year.
What's lingering?
We all have that book. The one we'll get to later. The one that doesn't get chosen. The one that's well-intentioned. (It's been sitting there for a long time.)
While it doesn't have to be the absolute oldest thing on your TBR shelf, if you even know what is, this is the week to read* something that's been waiting for awhile.
I'll try for a follow-up around the 5th. Nudge me if I've been buried under bookpiles.
*read/listen/watch/play. Whatever media you choose is fine.

Dec. 27th, 2025 08:10 pmkraitUgh, just when I thought this might be one of the rare winters without catching some sort of crud, it arrived. Felt fine Friday morning; at 3PM I noticed my sinuses were sore, and by 5:30 PM my throat was on fire. Spent today alternately napping and poking through the 2025 Yuletide Collection; my face hurts too much to read, but I can skim and mark things for later! I must have at least three pages worth of "later" reading stacked up now, which is exciting to think about. Let's hope that, whatever this crud is, it goes away as fast as it came.
Between being busy and getting sick, it looks like my annual Cards & Tea post may have be postponed to the New Year - I definitely don't want to be handling comestibles, or even cards, in the state I'm in now.
I've been too busy to crack the pages on either my newest purchases, Stars of Chaos volume 2 and the first book of Married Thrice to a Salted Fish, but I'm still looking forward to them. I did finally finish watching Mob Psycho 100's 3rd season last week, and greatly enjoyed it! Yesterday, when I wasn't feeling quite as awful, I started a Tiger & Bunny rewatch, and got 7 episodes in; no progress on that today, but maybe tomorrow.
If you participated in Yuletide, what gift(s) did you get? If you're just reading, has anything caught your eye? Any new fandoms you're eyeing for 2026, or rereads/rewatches you're planning?
